[A] [PREACHING LESSON 13:] WHY GOD CALLED THE FEET OF THE SOULWINNERS BEAUTIFUL?

(BAKIT TINAWAG NG DIYOS NA MAGANDA ANG MGA PAA NG TAGAPAG-AKAY NG KALULUWA)

ROMANS 10:14-15 “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”

Panimula:
a.     Ang Diyos ay nagbigay ng magandang pananalita at pagpuri sa mga Kristiyanong nag-aakay ng mga kaluluwa ng tao. Sinabi ng Diyos, “Anong pagkaganda ng mga paa niyaong mga nagdadala ng masasayang balita ng mga bagay na mabuti!”
b.    Ipinapanalangin ni Pablo ang mga taong relihiyoso sapagkat kahit na sila ay mga relihiyoso ay hindi pa rin mga naligtas ang kanilang mga kaluluwa.

Limang (5) mahahalagang batayan ng magandang paa ng mga nag-aakay ng kaluluwa:

1. THEY HAVE SAVED FEET
 (Sila’y ligtas na mga paa)
2TIMOTHY 1:9 “Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,”

a.     Si Pablo ay nagpapatotoo na siya’y naligtas na at tinawag pa ng Diyos sa isang banal na Gawain. “Na siyang sa atin ay nagligtas, at sa atin ay tumawag ng isang banal na pagtawag…”
b.    Ang mga karapatdapat na mga tagapag-akay ng Panginoon ay kinakailangang totoong ligtas at sumunod sa tubig ng bautismo.
ACTS 2:41 “Yaon ngang nagsitanggap ng kaniyang salita ay nangabautismuhan: at nangaparagdag sa kanila nang araw na yaon ang may tatlong libong kaluluwa.”

c.      Hindi maaaring gamitin ng Diyos ang hindi ligtas para mag-akay ng kaluluwa sapagkat sila’y bulag at patay espiritwal sabi ng Salita ng Diyos.
LUKE 6:39 “And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?”
EPHESIANS 2:1-3 “And you [hath he quickened], who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Eph 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.”

2. THEY HAVE A SUBMISSIVE FEET
 (Sila’y may masunuring paa)
ACTS 8:26-31 “And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Acts 8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
Acts 8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Acts 8:30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Acts 8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.”

a.     Si Felipe ay magandang huwaran sa pagiging masunurin sa gabay ng Banal na Espiritu sa pag-aakay ng mga kaluluwa.
b.    Ang pagka-masunurin natin sa dakilang gawain ng pag-aakay ng kaluluwa ay katunayan ng ating pag-ibig sa Panginoong Hesus at gayon din sa mga taong nangangailangan ng kaligtasan.
JOHN 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

3. THEY HAVE A SANCTIFIED FEET
(Sila’y may malinis o banal na mga paa)
2TIMOTHY 2:21 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, [and] prepared unto every good work.”

a.     Maganda sa paningin ng Diyos ang mga nag-aakay ng mga kaluluwa sapagkat ang kanilang buhay ay may lubos na kabanalan sa mata ng Diyos at ang Diyos din ang nagsabi na ang marapat Niyang gamitin sa gawain ay ang mga sisidlang ikapupuri dahil sa buhay ng Kristiyano na may kabanalan.
b.    Ang Diyos ay banal na Diyos at hindi Siya gagamit para sa Kanyang banal na gawain nang maruming sisidlan.
JOHN 17:17 “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

4. THEY HAVE A SURRENDERED FEET
 (Sila’’y may lubos na sukong buhay)
ACTS 20:19-24 “Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
Acts 20:20 [And] how I kept back nothing that was profitable [unto you], but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
Acts 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”

a.     Ang sinserong pagmamalasakit ni Pablo sa pag-aakay ng mga kaluluwa ay katunayan na ang kanyang buhay ay lubos na isinuko sa Panginoon.
ACTS 20:19 “Na ako'y naglilingkod sa Panginoon ng buong pagpapakumbaba ng isip, at ng mga luha, at ng mga pagsubok na dumating sa akin dahil sa mga pagbakay ng mga Judio;
Acts 20:20 Kung paanong hindi ko ikinait na ipahayag sa inyo ang anomang bagay na pakikinabangan, at hayag na itinuro sa inyo, at sa mga bahay-bahay,”
b.    Nagpapatotoo si Pablo na handa niyang tapusin nang may kagalakan ang ministeryo ng pag-aakay kahit ano pa ang mangyari.
ACTS 20:24 “Datapuwa't hindi ko minamahal ang aking buhay na waring sa akin ay mahalaga, maganap ko lamang ang aking katungkulan, at ang ministeriong tinanggap ko sa Panginoong Jesus, na magpatotoo ng evangelio ng biyaya ng Dios.”

5. THEY HAVE A SUCCESSFUL FEET
 (Sila’y may matagumpay na mga paa)
JOHN 15:8 “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.”

a.     Sila’y pinagpala ng Diyos nang mabungang pag-aakay kaya masasabi nating sila’y may magandang buhay-Kristiyano dahil ang Diyos ay naluluwalhati sa maraming kaluluwa na naliligtas.
ROMANS 10:2 “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.”

b.    Ang iglesya ng Jerusalem ay isang matagumpay na iglesya dahil maraming mga tao ang naliligtas sa kanilang gawain.
ACTS 2:41 “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.’
ACTS 4:4 “Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.”
ACTS 6:7 “And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”

Pangwakas:
Ang Diyos ang maysabi na maganda ang mga paa ng nagdadala ng mabuting balita tungkol sa kaligtasan ng mga kaluluwa ng mga tao. Tinawag ng Diyos ang bawat nag-aakay na mga pantas sa harap Niya.
PROVERBS 11:30 “The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.”
